Coolant Stink on Brand Spanking New Car
No sign of overflow.
Is it going to go away. How long before it can be called an actual problem?

Is it coming from the heater ducts? Or, is it when you are outside the beautiful new MINI?

GMINI,
Pretty sure it is just the solvents, greases, lubricants burning off. Typical of all new cars. Not to worry, mate!

Without thinking I floored the pedal today. Not again.
Hey-BB- Did you read it WAS me you saw at Fairfield MINI? That's pretty funky.
You work nearby, cruise the dealership, or were you actually in there the same time as me?
